He has 20% off, that means the price he paid is at 80%, so $80 is 80% of the original price.
Now let's find 1% of the original price
$80 : 80 = $1
So 1% of the original price will be $1, now you want to find the original price, that means you need 100%, let's do it

So your original price is $100
TA-DAH
